tho samo thing in 1881, If paid a consideration. During the canvas last fall you pulled down the county democratic ticket and re- fused to hoist it until paid $75o. After printing the tickets, for which you were we'll paid, you re fused to surrender them until a further contribution of S250 was paid you. You became interested in Il land grant scheme and then attempted to secure the appoint ment, first, of Surveyor General, and then of Land Register of Ari- zona. Failing in both you have consistently misrepresented the national administration. You de- mand money to reprint an article in defense of Governor Znlick's s action in removing Directors Hatch Lincoln and Stewart from the As ylum Board, and failing to get it you have attacked, on every con venient occasion, him and his ad- ministration.
 Your idea of journalism is to levy blackmail upon all men and things when possible. False to every principle, recreate to every trust, you seem to have been placed by the Almighty upon this terrest- rial sphere an illustration of al that is despicable Tn humanity, and q demonstration that mankind does not change but that the world can furnish at least one type similar to that found nineteen hundred years ago in Judas, who betrayed his master for thirty pieces of silver.
 Unfortunately you are in q pos ition to annoy respectable people, but no one who knows you would ever think of holding you respon- sible morally for what you do or say. Without moral sense or con seriousness of right you arc the willing slave of others. It is in decent however in your masters that they do not teach their parrot better manners. T. F. PARISH.

The Other Side.

For the past four weeks the col
 umns of the Tucson Star, the 30
 called leading democratic newspa-
 per of Arizona, have been filled
 with unjust reflections on the work
 of the late democratic legislature
 and abuse (most of it of personal
 nature) of our democratic govern or and his private secretary, Mir. I. E. Parish, of course the animus of the editor of this leading demo- cratic journal Is well known to most of the democrats of the coun- try. He was candidate for com missioner of immigration, a po'it- Ion in the gift of the governor, and though supported by the press of the territory, the governor did not think proper to appoint him, hence his animosity. We are not aware that the editor of the Star had any special claim to tho position but even if he had, the Governors right to refuse to nominate him without giving his reasons therefor can not be questioned. It is the con viction of every honest democrat that if the governor saw fit to ap- point the editor of the Star to the position he sought praise for him self and secretary would be be slowed with as liberal hand as abuse is now.
 In order that the democrats of Graham county who read the Tue son Star may be given an oppor- tunity to hear the other side of the question we re produce from the Prescott Courier an open letter from Mir. T. k. Parish, the Govern or's private secretary, addressed to the editor of the Star, which places tue whole matter in q very diff ferent llght and no doubt the char ges therein contained influenced the Governors action in refusing to nominate the editor of the Star for commissioner of immigration notwithstanding his strong en- dorsement by the press.

ANOTHER attempt to take the life of the Czar of Russia was made a few days ago. this time by an off cer of his army, of pihilistlc pro pensities, who took a shot at the monarch as he was exercising in park connected with one of his palaces. The officer was arrested and probably by this time hung It seems as if this man, the Elm peror, ought in the ordinary course of events, to "take a mble." to use q vulgar phrase-and give his peo- pie the constitutional government they want. Autocracy IS relic of the dark ages, but the chances are that this Czar will not live long enough to find it out.

To L. c. Hughes, Editor of the
 Star. Tucsou. \. r:


 Star, Tucson, A. T.:
 You have seen fit to make char ges against me, both vindictive and false. You have, in your cowardly way, sought through islander and vituperation to degrade me, per sonally and officially, before the people of Arizona, because I re- fused to advance your claims for Commissioner of Immigration. Iu order that the public may under stand the motive actuating you. 1 extract from a letter written by you to gentleman in Prescott, bearing date January 1st, 1887. In referring to me in connection with the office you say:
 Il am satisfied that Hamilton has no show for appointment, and why Parish should be a candidate, winch both Governor Zulick and he have given me So much encourage ment. is difficult to understand. If he does get away with it, let me say to you on the quiet, it will end the political career of two ambit- ious but very shallow politicians"
 Of course you knew you were lying when you said that l had ever given you any encouragement in the matter. You seemed to have believed that I held tho ear of the Governor to the extent that I could make or mar the ambitions of any applicant to office. In this you were mistaken, for seldom have I known who would receive executiTe appointments until direc- ted by tho Governor to fill out the commissions. l have never at tempted to influence him in these matters, for which he alone Is re- sponsible. If mistakes arc made he must bear the censure.
 In truth, so far as you are con cerned, had there been any neces- sity to defeat your nomination to any official position, l should have called attention of Governor Zu- lick to the fact that you had been appointed to the office of Attorney General of Arizona by Governor Stafford, and removed by him upon charges sustained in an examina- ton held before him. The princi- pal charge being thet you conspir- ed with another party to black mail the Lesinsky Brothers ont of S5,000 in connection with a mining claim iD, what Is now, Graham county. To refresh your memory in this matter, I would advise you to read and print the af1idavits connected herewith, published in the Tucson Citizen some twelve years ago.
 After this you became a demo- crat, but for revenue only. In the Star, you have always kept your eye so constantly upon the ''splin- ter" that had it not been for your oft-repeated assertions that you edited the leading democratic pa per of the territory, no one would have discovered taint of democ- racy about you. I came into the territory in July. 1879, and shortly after made your acquaintance.
 In 1880, after endorsing plat form favoring the territorial tax on bullion, you accepted fee from the mining corporations to advo- cate the repeal of the law. n 1892 you proposed to place the name of the republican nominee for Con gress at the head of tho columns ot the Star for the insignificant

THIS all important subject of tree
planting can hardly be exhausted.
These repeated Suggestions and famil-
lar talks with the people about u sys-
tematic manner of tree planting
should be observed by some Of our
more enterprisiDg citizens. Most OF
the western states and territories
have legislated in favor of stated days
on which the people vie with each
other in planting groves, and in some
instances premiums are paid to such
persons as plant the largest number Of
trees on this day, which should be Oh
served by all. Some appeal should be
made to the authorities of the territory
to do Ms ONE of their more sdvauced
neighbors have done in this respect.
Almost anything would be advisable
that would stimulate the people To
plant groves. Our valleys, unless cul.
tivated, are ST etches Of sand and
alkali, on which only the omnipresent
sage brush grows. To be sure, along
tbe borders Of its few ream are
fringe- uf the cottonwood. But the

Needed Congressional Legislation
The Iowa Homestead, a farm paper
edited by Henry Wallace, a Republi-
can, says though he is, on general
principles, in favor Of a protective tariff
yet the time has come to take off the
tariff on lumber and coal. lie says
For twenty years we have read Of our
decreasing forests. of the need of ma
uonal forestry and vet, with a stupid
ity unparaled in legislation, a tariff is
levied on foreign timber If our for
ests are being exhausted, why not let
the Canadians bring their lumber in

Why should the government be a part
ner in the robbery?
1t Is time Tor Congress to lay lis
heavy hand on the anthracite coal rob
bers, and the best way to do that is to
strike down the tariff on coal. The
very idea of tariff Is 10 protect miners,
manufactures aud farmers. 10 has al
ways been argued and the argument has
been sound in many cases, that com
petition would reduce prices below the
foreign level. But when an sinfant in
dustry grows to such fullness and
strength that it forms a giant cOmbi-
nation and strangles competition, it is
time for the government 10 say: "You
have abused our charity you are high
way robbers and we viii punish YOU.
Ii you are able 10 rob, you are able TO
stand alone" This is the proper way
to deal with such able bodied "a Gals as

The theories Of tariff and free trade cut
no figure in this business IL is simply
q question Of strangling a set Of thieves.
There are children crying because OF
